I PRODUCED THIS VIDEO BEFORE WE KNEW ELON MUSK WAS CRAZY. =========================================================
The original SpaceX live feed of the Falcon Heavy landing contained an error. Rather than showing the video feed from the two boosters side by side, they mistakenly played the same video side by side. It seems YouTube has allowed SpaceX to replace the live stream archive with a corrected version.

Contrary to claims made by Flat Earthers and Space Travel Deniers, this says nothing about the authenticity of the Falcon Heavy. Millions of civilian witnesses saw it go up and land. 

But SpaceX's YouTube edit does open the doors to a very legitimate discussion. Is it ethical to edit a live stream that is considered an historical record? Should this feature be available to all YouTube users? And if so, what steps can be taken to prevent genuine abuse of the system?

Personally, I think everyone on YouTube should have the option to edit their videos to correct mistakes or replace videos with updated versions. At the same time, I think some archiving and documentation should be made with historical preservation in mind when it comes to editing a live feed recording.
